Ms. Alexandra Ott is a special education teacher who came from teaching for one year with DC Public Schools.  Q: What differences do you expect between elementary and high school? A: So my previous school was an all special education school, last year I taught elementary school kids ages 8-12 with various disabilities. This is a very different setting because I now have older kids, the severity of the disabilities that I worked with last year was more than it is here so the learning environment might be a little easier. The skills that I teach will also be different. Here I teach English, World History , and Biology.   Q: Why do you teach Special Education? A: When I was in high school I did best buddies and I was paired with a girl that had cerebral palsy. Before that I didn’t know how to act around people with disabilities because I had never had any experience with them. So once I got to know her I realized that she was really cool and had so much to offer. We are still friends to this day and she knows that she is my inspiration and the reason that I do what I do. Q: What are you looking forward to and what are you nervous about? A: I’m really excited about getting to know my students, I can’t wait for when everyone comes in and I can build relationships with them and give them my full self. I’m nervous about learning all the new arlington county paperwork and procedures and I’m a little nervous about being too friendly because I’m normally very laid back and I want to be an authority figure as well.
